When I lived in Ohio, I travelled to San Antonio, Rockingham, and Epping... I now live in North Carolina, and I've travelled to Immokalee, San Antonio, Tulsa, Martin, Epping, etc. All the Div. 9 races are in one state, but none of them were double-headers, either, so it's a wash. There hasn't been a huge difference in my yearly towing mileage, although I do get to hit more bracket races inbetween, and have a longer season (Feb-Nov). No matter where races are, someone is going to have to travel more than someone else. Personally, I made the decision to move where I could race the most, and I made the decision to tow an open trailer with a 1500 Ram, so I can afford to travel long distances as necessary.

And I cannot travel like I use to, I had to go out and get a real job to be able to afford to still do this anymore and I don't get enough vaca to be gone that many days a year. I figure it costs 3 times to attend a race now as to what it cost back in 2000-2001... and alot less prize money now.

I like "Motor City" Mike Sowards, who's towed his Top Sportsman car on an open trailer for years. "I've never staged the trailer!" H*ll, I never owned a generator until this year, and when I bought one this year, it was a li'l 1000W deal I found at Big Lots for $120 that's just for emergencies... actually bought it mostly to power a fan for a wicked hot weekend we had this summer, plus Myron's generator went kaput.
